Why each option

The 'One-time update' option in the VM Updates blade applies available platform updates but does not migrate the virtual machine to a different host.

AYes

Selecting 'One-time update' will only apply pending updates and not move the VM to a different host as required.

BNoCorrect

The 'One-time update' feature initiates immediate application of pending platform updates to the VM within its current host, but it does not perform a live migration or redeployment of the VM to a different physical host, which is required to move it away from an affected host due to maintenance.
